Job description

Overview

We are looking for an experienced engineering manager to lead one of our teams within the Platform Product Group. The Platform Product Group’s mission is to build a trusted, scalable, and compliant platform to maximize velocity, efficiency and quality. They build the foundations that can be used by multiple products and teams at Coinbase so that users can have a consistent and high-quality experience.

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system. We’re seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission, believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology, and is eager to leave their mark on the world.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

Responsibilities

• Build and manage engineering teams, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure.
• Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap on a quarterly basis. Break down complex projects into smaller pieces and lead the iterative design and implementation process.
• Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
• Work closely with our talent organization to identify and recruit exceptional engineers who align with Coinbase's culture and contribute to our products.
• Contribute to and take ownership of processes that drive engineering quality and meet our engineering SLAs.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.
• At least 2 years of engineering management experience.
• You possess a strong understanding of what constitutes high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, creating an environment that fosters these principles.
• An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
• An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.
• Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
• You can be hands-on when needed – whether that’s writing/reviewing code or technical documents, participating in on-call rotations and leading incidents, or triaging/troubleshooting bugs.
• Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.

Nice to have

• Prior experience leading a Developer Experience/Productivity, Platform, or similar domain team
• Have previous experience at a fast paced, high growth stage internet/software company
• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
